From what we (at least I) know, this wasn't the police in Switzerland waking up senior management. t was - without anyone admitting to it - probably KrCERT who requested the account suspension. KrCERT don't seem to have any legal

Most providers will hand you a new IP if you suspend then restart your instance. That at least spreads you pool of IPs across their AS (or some subset of it). For the price of a "reputable" VPN service, you could run 2 or 3 low en

Sadly, Proton was, until now, a serious and perhaps leading contender for where I might migrate my email as I reduce my dependence on Google. They felt more credible then Tutanova, and less mainstream corporate than Fastmail. Not sure where

As much as I detest organised religion, the Mormons have a pretty good take on this. They strive to have a six month supply of food/water/cash on hand at all times.

Is Emby somehow related to Plex? I use Emby, only because a few friends did and recommended it. I'd probably switch ti something more secure and/or open source given the right push.

Dupe? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45174684 (Or at least related, this submission has the plex.tv website breach notification, not just the text of the email.)

I can't tell if I'm being paranoid or just realistic, when I suspect that FBI/Apple fights over decrypting/unlocking iPhones or iMessage are just part of Apple's security theater. If I were Evil-Tim-Cook, I'd h

Yep. Don't cut executive pay. Put executives in jail. I'll bet that if Qantas ever get fined for this data breach, the fine/penalties will cost the company less than the increase in senior leadership salaries for that year.

Sure. And it's given away for free, so complaining feels wrong. But is it _too_ much to ask that they print their tweaked version 2 and test it before publishing it? :sigh:
